In Spanish the term in social media circles is “Desvirtualizar” and last night I did just that. What it means is to meet people in real life that you know in virtual reality, or rather online.
So last night I went out with my other half to meet a group of people some of whom I already knew online but only two of whom I had previously met in the flesh.
Last week I wrote an article about hitting your targets focussed on the online markets. Today it is the turn of offline and again the process is similar with the same mantra, “if you don’t know where you are heading then it doesn’t matter which way you set out”.
Facebook had a conference this week which might well change the landscape of the internet as we know it. Just in case you didn’t know here are a couple of facts about Facebook:
1) There are over 400 million people on Facebook.
2) They are all throwing sheep at each other and poking on a regular basis. (Basically this means they are actually on the site and doing stuff and interacting with the aps)
3) Facebook allows adverts.
Facebook are looking for beta testers for a new product. You need to be able to write authoritatively about subjects, mmm I wonder why? Oh yeah, Facebook Wiki. Anyway if you think you can write in an authoritative way then look at the questions below. I have placed my answers in there to give you an example.
I have added a cut little logo into this post. You can get more logos for free to put on your site at Twitterlogo.org The question should always be why are you going to follow someone on Twitter?
So Friday comes and after the football match to finish the week you decide that you really should take things easy this weekend. By doing that it is probably not a good idea to then start buying websites, putting up new sites, having a meeting about a new project and discussing a current project with one person in Barcelona and another in San Diego.
